<h4>Chapter 466: Lee Jung-sook (2)</h4>


    “He discovered that her appearances remained exactly the same, despite the fact that ten years had passed!”


    But that’s only natural… If she’s indeed Xia Jinse, she would have experienced three whole dynasties across the history of Cathay! She would have internalized her experiences with human interaction spanning four hundred long years and developed a sharp acumen for the human psyche. Even the dumbest of fools would have be a genius by then!


    Kim Jae-huan continued, “Now that things havee to this, we can’t help but wonder if she’s been slowly sowing seeds all this while, grooming and nurturing her supporters in order to cement her foothold in the Samsung Group! Presently, most of Samsung Group’s directors are all personnel who only made it to the top under her rmendations! Of ten of them, at least half are aware that she’s not a human, and yet… they’re still undyingly loyal to her!”


    I think I’ve got something to say to that.


    A confluence of strategy, politics and the grace of promotions… tsk, tsk, tsk… I’m afraid she must have managed to garner herself quite the following within the organization hasn’t she? She’s the whole package that grants benefits and fulfils ambitions and dreams. It would be a wonder if people aren’t blindly following and supporting her! She’s also a Lee after all!


    Qin Ye sighed. He’s really run himself into a corner. I’ll bet old Mr Lee must be regretting his actions back then. It’s no wonder that you’re here begging the Cathayan gods for help. I’m sure you must have prayed to the gods in Daehan before. Unfortunately, they were all powerless. For instance… do you think Liu Yu would even care about something like that?


    Of course I’d take an interest in this matter!


    “Right now, the pressure’s all on old Mr Lee’s shoulders… because no matter who takes on the mantle of being chairperson of the Samsung Group, not a single person is able to shake the foothold Lee Jung-sook has established for herself in thepany!” Kim Jae-huan gnashed his teeth, “She’s a monster! She shouldn’t even be alive in this world! So long as you reap her soul and cause her to die, then every single one of us in the Lee Family would even be willing to fork out 200 million RMB per person! Or its equivalent in Hell’s notes!”


    What the hell am I supposed to do with hell’s notes?!


    But… what frustrated Qin Ye the most was the fact that he simply couldn’t express these grievances of his!


    Besides, it would be far toote for Qin Ye to now state that his identity was only that of Ox-Head or Horse-Face!


    He was indescribably vexed in his heart, yet the only response he could think of was a soft, cid “mm”.


    Are you serious?


    And as for Xia Jinse, huh… There’s naturally a ce in Hell for her, where she can with her acumen help with the tall, arduous task of empire-building. Qin-far-sighted-Ye nodded to himself, approving of his own wless ns.


    “Her entire body… is covered with tattoos. Cathayan characters, as well as arabic numbers. I couldn’t read them, but Imitted the shape of a few to memory, reproduced them and showed them to others. Unfortunately, the only response I got was that they don’t mean a single word. Apart from that…”


    Qin Ye’s heart skipped a beat.


    Why?


    Qin Ye knew that he wouldn’t have been able to do the same himself.


    “Where’s she?” Qin Ye asked again. It was of utmost importance to make contact with her at the earliest possible time.


    Azurewaters City? What’s she doing there?


    “Because as soon as we’re discovered… she would stonewall our proposed resolutions in thepany at every step of the way. At present, more than half of Samsung Group’s board of directors are loyal to her! Furthermore, with a 5% stake in thepany, she’s one of the few shareholders of Samsung who’s holding more than 2% in thepany! In other words, her instructions and opinions hold sway! One could even say that… she’s the true empress behind the Samsung empire!”


    So that’s how it is…


    They are of the view that only the Cathayan underworld could do something about ady of Cathayan descent. Furthermore, they would never get a chance to visit Cathay on any other asion.


    Could I have been doing it wrong all this while? Should I have ridden the wave and been as high-profile as I could’ve been? Just like how I am in the mortal realm right now, raking in all the dough as though it didn’t mean a thing!


    Smack! Smack! There were two muffled smacks, followed by the heavy thuds of something falling on the ground. A momentter, the door to the prayer hall was flung wide open with a loud m.


    Even though Qin Ye had seen his fair share ofdies from questionable online sources, he couldn’t help but marvel at the magnificent work of the creator.


    Snow-white skin; deep, abstruse eyes that appeared to contain the starry night skies; sharp ebony brows; high nose-bridge; and cherry lips.


    She was beautiful, but… he could tell she wasn’t to be messed with.


    It arose from her temperament and disposition.


    Lee Jung-sook’s eyes shrank abruptly as soon as she entered the prayer hall.


    “Everyone out.” She spoke calmly, and the two rows of bodyguard nodded and walked out without question.


    Silence. The only sounds that could be heard in the prayer hall were the soft chirps of the crickets outside, and the loud cks of Lee Jung-sook’s heels.


    Lee Jung-sook wore long stockings over her legs, and she walked towards Kim Jae-huan with elegance and grace. And then, she ced her wrist directly in front of Kim Jae-huan’s face.


    “Do you know the answer now?” Lee Jung-sook asked with a faint smile.


    A split secondter, she pinched his cheeks violently and continued with a frigid tone of voice, “It’s four.


    “I’ve rushed to the processing nts to deal with the issue of the Samsung cell phone explosions, and yet you stab me in the back by visiting such ces?!”


    And then, she pushed hard and tossed Kim Jae-huan to the ground with a look of disdain in her eye, “It doesn’t matter what you say. Samsung has only managed to be what it is now because of me. Do you know how manypetitors I’ve taken down on my own? Don’t you dare say that the other directors are loyal to me. No. They’re just being loyal to the interests of the Samsung Group. They know that Samsung Group would never fall as long as I’m around. So, tell me - am I missing something? Did I shortchange the Lee Family in some way? Or do you find the dividends or directors’ remuneration insufficient? Why are you so intent on putting me down?!”


    “Get out.” She turned around to look at the statue in the room, “This is going to be thest time. If something like this ever happens again, then don’t me me for taking more drastic measures. I’ve put up with you guys long enough now.”


    It was quite the sight seeing someone so fraught with hatred suddenly tuck his tail between his legs and scuttle off obsequiously. As he left, he even mmed the door shut behind him.


    It was so silent that even the soft whistle of the night wind sounded deafening.


    After a protracted pause, Lee Jung-sook spoke up again. But this time, her voice carried a trace of weariness. The previously overbearing persona had faded away, revealing a far more innocent disposition of a young girl who gently tucked her hair behind her ear as she spoke with a smile , “He’s really managed to invite something, hasn’t he…? A god?”


    Formidable. Cutthroat and decisive. But… I don’t like women like that.


    “Or demon?”


    Lee Jung-sook nodded softly, “Thank you.”


    And then… she… began to undo her blouse.
